Chapter 279


    The following day, Laverne’s funeral was held as nned.


    The hearse carrying her body made its way to thergest cemetery in Stonebridge City The funeral


    director exined the details of the burial to Marguerite and Yuna, who then stood at the entrance to


    wee the mourners.


    There weren’t many people. Most of them were friends of Marguerite and Frederick.


    Marguerite was dressed in a white dress, a stark contrast to Yuna’s somber ck attire.


    Upon seeing Marguerite, Yuna was immediately annoyed. She approached Marguerite ghostlike and


    sold sarcastically. “You dress up so brightly for a funeral? You really have no heart, Marguerite.


    Laveme’s gone and I bet you’re happier than anyone else. Don’t think I don’t know you’ve always seen


    Laverne as a burden.”


    Marguerite didn’t want to argue with Yuna at her grandmother’s funeral. She didn’t even look at her and


    continued to greet the guests.


    Yuna scoffed and thought about the date she expected from her beloved Freddie tonight. She wanted


    to show off this sacred moment to Marguerite.

    However, she had checked the ce for the past few nights. All the tables and chairs in the restaurant


    had been cleared, leaving only a small round table on the terrace.


    The location had a great view overlooking the whole of Stonebridge City. Freddie would certainly not


    want such a romantic atmosphere to be disturbed


    But she had to show off to Marguerite. She wanted Marguerite to know that in front of Freddie, she was


    just a clown!


    Thinking about it, Yuna raised her chin high. “You know, Marguente, Freddie is going to confess his


    love to me today. Oh, Marguerite, with Laverne gone, your happy days are over!”


    Atst, Marguente turned to look at her, her eyes sharp and warning. “Does Frederick know you’re


    talking like this at your grandmother’s funeral?”


    “What do you mean?” Yuna was taken aback.


    “If you dare to say one more word, I won’t hesitate to tell him exactly what you’ve said.”


    “Marguerite, you.” Yuna didn’t dare to say anything more. She was truly threatened


    All she could do was roll her eyes at Marguerite, cursing her silently in her heart.


    Marguente was just like the old hag, a tattletale. But so what? Her happy days wereing to an end.


    Once Freddie confessed his love tonight, the next one to be buned would be Marguerite!


    Meanwhile, in the open–air parking lot outside the funeral home.


    Miley had intended toe early to help, but the morning rush hour had caught her off guard, causing


    her to bete


    Just as she parked her BMW, a familiar yellow sports car pulled up next to her.


    Robert, dressed in a ck suit, got out of the car. The moment he saw Miley, they both looked


    surprised


    “Why are you here?” Both of them asked almost simultaneously.


    Robert quickly replied, “A friend’s rtive passed away. I’m here for the funeral. What about you?”


    “I’m here for a funeral too.”


    Robert stood there, dumbfounded, That can’t be There’s only one funeral here today. We…. we can’t


    possibly be attending the same one?”


    Miley shook her head confidently, “Impossible! The deceased is my best friend’s grandmother!”


    Like a bolt from the blue, Robert’s mind was in a whirl. He regretted realizing the connection toote.


    His surprise made him raise his voice, “You don’t mean to tell me, Marguerite is your best friend!
